Chapter 89: Verbal Warfare
The appearance of the Wing King, not only the capital, but also the entire Liang country was boiling.
In the past two days, there has been an endless stream of officials and eunuchs in the palace of the Wing King, and the officials who had good friends with the Wing King in the past, and even friends from the rivers and lakes have come to visit, and today, the prince finally came to visit his imperial uncle.
"Ji Cong has seen the Sixth Emperor Uncle." The prince bowed respectfully.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't have to be polite, please take a seat." Wing King Ji Hongchen smiled.
"I haven't seen Uncle Six Emperors for many years, and Ji Cong misses it very much."
Hearing the prince's hypocritical greeting, King Yi smiled and said: "When this king left, the prince was only five or six years old, and it was not easy to remember me, the sixth emperor uncle." ”
The prince said: "At that time, although Ji Cong was young, but he clearly remembered the six emperor uncles, speaking of which, among several imperial uncles, only you like to take us juniors to play together, after you leave the palace, Ji Cong will miss the imperial uncle, but unfortunately, my father has been looking for you for a long time, but I have never found it, I don't know where the imperial uncle has gone for more than 20 years?" ”
The Wing King smiled "haha" and said in his heart: It should be said that your father has "hunted down" me for a long time, right? He said: "This king, I'm tired of the life in this palace, I like to travel in the mountains and rivers, and I went where the scenery is good." ”
The crown prince asked, "Then why is the imperial uncle back now?" ”
King Yi said with a smile: "Liang is a tolerant country, my emperor of Liang is naturally open-minded, to my younger brother laissez-faire, this king has no intention of the country, only intoxicated with the beauty of mountains and rivers, where to go, when to come back, my heart is my lord, very free, isn't it?" ”
The prince smiled: "That's that, the emperor's uncle is a man of temperament, regardless of the country, just carefree, not like a nephew, all day long either supervising the previous dynasty, or busy with official business, but a lot less leisure." Uncle Huang came back this time, I don't know what to do? Is it a long-term stay in the capital, or the hard work of visiting the beautiful scenery of the mountains and rivers, come back to rest for a while, and recuperate? ”
The Wing King smiled secretly in his heart, and replied: "No matter how beautiful the mountains and rivers are, I am tired of seeing them, and when I am tired of playing, I can't run now, this time, I don't plan to leave when I come back, I am old, I always have to return to the roots, and this king is coming back to support the elderly." ”
Hearing this, the muscles on the prince's face trembled, squeezed out a smile, and said: "Yes, yes, it's been more than 20 years, Uncle Huang, no matter how greedy you are, when you are tired of playing, it's good to come back." It's just that since Uncle Huang is back, I don't know if I've ever seen my father? For more than 20 years, my father has always been very worried about you, after all, you are siblings. ”
"What the prince said is very true."
Yiwang said: "Originally, I was going to visit the imperial brother immediately on the day I came back, but it was really unfortunate, I heard that the imperial brother was suddenly seriously ill, and the imperial doctors were busy treating him. Therefore, I simply held back my longing for the imperial brother, and when he was better, I would go into the palace to see him. ”
"Ah, I see,"
The crown prince said with a smile: "What the Sixth Emperor Uncle said is not unreasonable, my father is now weak, and he will be sick at the end of three days, even we princes are worried, and we are careful not to let his old man get angry." ”
"Just now, I saw that Uncle Huang has a lot of guards in this mansion, I don't know what Uncle Huang is afraid of?"
Yiwang smiled lightly and said in a low voice: "Prince, you can see it really accurately, but you must have heard of it, Uncle Huang, I, I am very timid, in the past, the imperial brother yelled at me, I can scare me for many days without going out, now, I am older, but this timid character still can't be changed, this huge mansion, although there are no treasures, but the old saying is good: 'Don't be afraid of thieves stealing, only afraid of thieves', this harm to people can not have, the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, be prepared, do you say yes or no? ”
The crown prince bowed his head respectfully and said: "Uncle Huang, what you said is too right, the so-called 'ginger is still old and spicy', Uncle Huang is talking about experience, and my nephew has been taught." ”
He stood up and hugged his fists and said: "Then my nephew won't disturb Uncle Huang's rest, and when Uncle Huang is free another day, my nephew will invite you to sit in my house, and I hope that Uncle Huang will not refuse." ”
The Wing King said loudly: "The Prince's Mansion? Okay, well, as long as the prince is willing, the king will not leave the capital anyway, we will have time in the future, take your time, don't rush, ah. ”
The prince bowed and saluted: "Ji Cong farewell." ”
The Winged King returned the salute: "Send the crown prince." ”
……
Happy suddenly flashed out of the door, stretched out a foot and walked into the main hall, but a pair of big eyes were staring closely at the back of the prince's departure, his body stiffened and motionless, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Hey, I said, are you going to come in or want to go out?" The Winged King asked slowly, sat down at the main seat, and took a sip of tea.
Happy was full of disdain, sneered, and finally turned his face to Master Yiwang, and the other leg also moved in, and said:
"Master, the prince is here this time to listen to the tone, the old treacherous and cunning, hiding a knife in his smile! However, in this war of words, it is obvious that the prince has lost the upper hand. ”
The Winged King was surprised: "Hey, where are you kid hiding and eavesdropping?" ”
Happy thumbs up and picked it behind him: "I was standing outside the door and listening, and you didn't close the door." However, Master, you have a very good saying. ”
The Winged King asked, "Oh? Which sentence? ”
Happily shook his head and said: "As the old saying goes: 'Don't be afraid of thieves stealing, only afraid of thieves', the prince must be very weak when he hears this, what do you say?" ”
The Wing King stroked his beard and nodded: "If you don't beat him, he won't know how many pounds and taels he has." Now that I'm back, it's definitely not the same Ji Hongchen I was twenty years ago, let's see. ”
He thought about it for a moment, and couldn't help but be stunned: "Hey, when will I say 'the old saying is good', that's not your mantra." ”
happily said seriously: "How else can we say that we are masters and apprentices?" You taught me martial arts, I didn't pay the tuition, you stole my mantra, it's okay, I don't care. ”
He was very generous, and the Winged King couldn't help but laugh: "You still don't care? If you don't care, then I'll have to take care of you, I ask you, where did you run with Zumureti last night? ”
Happy rubbed his nose and said, "I didn't run anywhere, I just went to the street for a walk." ”
"Walking around?"
Wing King Zhengse said: "What are you two doing sneakily staring at Wudetang? What are you thinking about in that head, thinking I don't know? I'll tell you, I don't care what you do to the Sky Shaking Tiger, but Wu Detang, you can't move for the time being. After all, Wudetang is the prince's institution, not anyone's mansion, there are many masters in it, and Zifeng is also in it, if you take care of Zifeng, you must not touch Wudetang, understand? ”
His mind was seen through, and he laughed happily and embarrassedly, and said: "I won't tell you, I really wanted to make some noise for Wudetang, but this look, just think about it, after all, my brother is the hall master, if something happens to Wudetang, the prince will not let him go, just think about it, wait for the opportunity to talk about it." ”
"What are you waiting for?"
"Wait for the opportunity for the people in the Wude Hall to come out."
Wing King said: "There is a chance, what are you anxious about, as the old saying goes, ......"
He stopped suddenly, and then saw the evil smile holding back the corner of his mouth, and hurriedly changed his words: "As the saying goes, 'you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry', in the future, small battles and big battles will continue, and you are busy." ”
He smiled happily and said, "Yes, Master." ”
Yiwang said again: "But I still need to remind you, although I have a lot of guards in this mansion, but there are still many crises outside the door, you and Zu Mureti should be careful when entering and exiting, and don't go to the vicinity of Wude Hall, don't think that those people in Ji Cong are eating dry rice." “
He smiled happily and said, "Master, don't worry, I have a number." ”
With a flattering smile on his lips, he walked straight behind the Winged King and reached out to knead his shoulder.
"Master, are you comfortable?"
The Winged King closed his eyes and said with a look of enjoyment: "Well, comfortable, comfortable." Why is it so good today, knowing that you are filial to Master, let's say, what do you want Master's help with? ”
Said happily: "Where do I dare to bother Master, I just want to ask, when I came out of the hole that day, I saw that you asked the family to help you carry two burdens, why didn't you take any boxes or something?" ”
"What do you do with the box?"
"Master, didn't you bring those precious softness out of the house?"
"No, I'm very poor, I don't have any treasures."
"Master......"
"Stinky boy, you better don't open your mouth, you don't have a good word with one mouth, and you're calculating my belongings, right?"
He smiled happily and flatteringly, "Master, where did you come from?" That's not called 'calculation', that's 'care', just afraid that your treasure will fall into the hands of the flying sand without a shadow, isn't it cheaper for them? ”
The Wing King said "um", and said lightly: "Then you can put a hundred hearts, your master and my baby are soft, as long as I don't take the initiative to give, no matter who I want to find, including you!" You kid, don't worry about it, ah. ”
With that, he took out some loose silver from his sleeve pocket and handed it back with his backhand, "Now, take the flowers." ”
happily looked at the silver he handed over, pursed his lips, and said with a disgusted expression: "Master, you are calling Hanako in this way, that's it?" ”
Upon hearing this, the Wing King said, "Are you too little?" Don't? I don't want to give it back yet. As he spoke, he was about to withdraw his hand, but suddenly his hand was empty, and the silver had been taken away with joy.
"Yes, of course, although it is a little less, although the sparrow is small, it is a piece of meat, isn't it? Master, don't you know, that demon has to buy things as soon as she goes out, she never carries money with her, I'm like a moving silver vault, she takes all the money she wants from me, and I don't have a problem with it, besides, what kind of thunderball or something like that I have to do is not to spend money on gunpowder? Happy and helpless.
Yiwang smiled: "That's it, I know that you have grown up, and there are a lot of places to use money, don't beat my precious soft ideas in the future, when you need money, go to the account room to find Mr. Xu to withdraw it, as long as you don't scavenge all my belongings, I still have to support this big family." ”
Hearing this, he was overjoyed and said happily: "Hey! Thank you, Master. ”
The subordinates kneaded hard, and then tapped and pushed slowly, serving him, the master of the Wing King, to good use.
……
The crown prince came out of the Wing Palace, full of displeasure, and he went straight to Wudetang.
As for the prince's visit to the Winged King's Mansion, someone had already come to report to Zifeng, and when he saw the prince's unfortunate look at this moment, he knew that he must have fallen into a boring situation with the Winged King.
The prince said in a deep voice: "I just went to the Wing King's Mansion. In other words, I always feel that the Wing King doesn't seem to want to snatch the throne when he comes back this time. “
Zi Feng asked, "Your Highness, Zi Feng thinks that no matter whether the Wing King wants this throne or not, there is one thing that will not be wrong, and that is that it will definitely be unfavorable to you, the crown prince." “
The crown prince nodded: "That's right, as far as I know, my father has already sent Feisha Wuying to kill him, and he suddenly appeared with such fanfare, and blatantly returned to his own mansion, it can be seen that he didn't put his father in his eyes at all, which at least shows that he has no fear, and it is also a provocation for his father to send Feisha Wuying, Wing King, Wing King, I used to think that he was cowardly, but now it seems that he is so powerful, no wonder my father fell ill after learning the news." ”
"If he doesn't want to be the emperor, he must be planning to support the second child. No wonder as soon as he came back, the second child rushed to see him, but my prince couldn't get any cheap. ”
Zi Feng asked, "What are His Royal Highnesses the Crown Prince's plans now?" ”
The prince said worriedly: "What else can I plan? Now there are guards in front and back of the courtyard of the Yiwang Mansion, strictly guarding against death, he obviously came prepared this time, this is planning to do it with me. ”
Zi Feng knew that he came to Wude Hall, not just to say these words, he must have some errand to explain, rather than waiting for him to open his mouth to arrange, it was better to take the initiative to speak.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please make it clear what Zifeng needs to do next."
The prince said: "You send someone to find out, whether Reheiki is with him, the thousand people on Xueyan Mountain are nothing to Reheiki, although he was beaten away by you, but he must still be near the capital." Keep an eye on the Winged King's Mansion for me, and report every step of their action to me, and see if there are any other people who have close contacts with the Winged King, they will keep a firm eye on me. ”
Zi Feng said: "The brothers of Wude Hall have already explored the surroundings of the Yiwang Mansion, and Zi Feng will immediately send someone to investigate the matter explained by His Royal Highness." ”
The prince asked, "What has happened to the Howling Wind Pavilion recently?" ”
Zi Feng said: "Yes, recently, for some reason, there have been a lot fewer people coming in and out of the Howling Wind Pavilion. ”
The prince "hummed" twice: "That's right, everyone is busy going to the Yiwang set, I saw Qu Yan's sedan chair near the Yiwang Mansion when I went today, it seems that the old guy has also gone to meet the Yiwang." ”
Zi Feng asked, "Old General Qu is a supporter of King Chenjun. ”
The prince gritted his teeth and said, "Do you know that Qu Yan was once also a friend of the Wing King?" Hmph, the last time the Heaven-Shaking Tiger didn't kill Qu Yan, I thought I could warn him, who knew that this old guy didn't eat soft and hard, but he became even worse, above the court, against me everywhere, when the prince ascended the throne one day, the first person to get rid of was him! ”
……
The return of the Wing King is naturally unfavorable to Zifeng, a person who works for the crown prince, because there will be more
trouble, but Zi Feng is not interested in whether the crown prince succeeds in obtaining the throne, he just wants a higher power than the Sky Shaking Tiger, in order to suppress the Sky Shaking Tiger, and even make him worthless in the eyes of the crown prince, as long as the Sky Shaking Tiger is not happy, he will be happy.
When Zhou Yunqi followed Zifeng to kill Hot Black Wood, he had seen Happy and knew that although Zhou Yunqi was Zifeng's person, Zifeng, who had always been vigilant, still didn't tell him about Happy and his relationship, but only ordered him to secretly look for Happy in the capital.
